A 58-year-old client has been admitted to the CCU with a myocardial infarction. The client suddenly goes into cardiac arrest, and team members rush into the room
What type of nursing leadership style in the behavioral school would be best in this situation?
1. Bureaucratic
2. Democratic
3. Laissez-faire
4. Autocratic
Answer: 4
Rationale: The autocratic leader makes all the decisions and has the authority. This would be the most effective type of leadership in a code situation. The other leadership styles would be ineffective in an emergency situation. The bureaucratic leader does not trust the team members, and this would affect the cohesiveness of the code team. The democratic leader takes each member's preferences into consideration when making a decision, which is not acceptable in an emergency situation such as a code. Finally, the laissez-faire style gives no direction, which again would be inappropriate in an emergency code situation.
